84.09 MPG for a van? Citroen Nemo Pulls off record

Looking for a way to save some extra money for your nextBarbados villa rentals? Would be nice to have this van that logs in at 84 MPG wouldn't it?

Now...I don't know how this qualifies as a "van" really. It looks like a tiny little girly car, but they call it a "van" in Europe so it must be true.


October 13, 2008: 84.09mpg is the amazing fuel consumption returned by a Citroën Nemo 1.4HDi van in the independent ALD Automotive/Total Excellium MPG Marathon 2008 organised by Fleet World magazine. With this outstanding figure the Citroën Nemo takes over the mantle as the UK’s most fuel-efficient van from the Citroën C2 Enterprise, which has held the title since 2006. The 84.09mpg figure was achieved despite the van carrying half its gross payload, to simulate real-world usage scenarios.


Pretty amazing feat considering that the van was even loaded to the gills with cargo. 1/2 the total amount allowed was carried and it still pulled it off? Nothing to scoff at I guess. Even more amazing? The price. At 8,295 Euros it converts to a little over $11,000.
